The Thirlmere Lakes National Park is a protected national park in the Macarthur region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 629-hectare (1,550-acre) national park is situated approximately 95 kilometres (59 mi) southwest of the Sydney central business district, and just to the west of Thirlmere. It was gazetted in 1972 as Thirlmere Lakes State Park, before being subsequently reclassified as a national park.

A rail museum dedicated to preserving heritage rolling stock (and claims to hold Australia's largest collection of heritage rolling stock). You can also take a ride on the heritage steam train along the Picton–Mittagong loop line, which is a mostly disused railway line.
Historic trestle bridge over Stonequarry Creek.
The tunnel is a relic of the old rail route through Picton, before realignment to reduce gradients. It was then used to grow mushrooms and is said to be haunted. It is a short walk to the other side.
Sydney Skydivers operates exclusively from the nearby airport at Wilton (the turn off is a few hundred metres from the Picton exit off the Hume Highway (freeway)). Full licence training also available. There is a cafe with a decent coffee machine and toasted sandwiches at a reasonable price if you just want to watch. Or if your idea of lunch is a pack of corn chips with a tin of bean mix and cheese for around $8, they can help you with that too. Picnic tables if you'd rather bring your own. Entry is free, $275 for a tandem skydive. Discounts available for a second jump on the same day. Pick a time online, but usually it is okay to just drop in.
